New additions to our Art & Art History collections!

The library recently received a large donation of art and art history books from the estate of Thomas Frey.  His collection has greatly expanded our collections in Renaissance art and 19th Century art (including many books on Van Gogh), as well as ancient and modern art.

  

Mr. Frey was a Monroe County executive and an avid art enthusiast.  He often traveled to art exhibits and collected exhibition catalogs, which are a sizeable portion of the donations he made to our library.

   

Mr. Frey generously donated his entire collection to our library, in hopes that these books would be used and appreciated by the excellent visual and performing arts students, as well as the rest of our scholarly community at Nazareth.

 

Mr. Frey's obituary from the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle is available here.
